This recipe is so easy, so inexpensive, and so yummy. I served it with garlic breadsticks that I made out of leftover hot dog buns & the whole family ate it up! I garnished it with a little grated Romano that I had. I also used ditalini pasta instead of seashell pasta, because that's what was in all the photos and is the kind of pasta I normally see this soup made with. I served it for lunch and my husband asked me if I could make a double batch to have for dinner on the same day!

My family really enjoys this soup. I have modified in the following manner: I use crushed tomatoes instead of stewed. I also add frozen chopped spinach instead of the parsley. Before adding the pasta [I use ditalini] I use an immersion blender to blend the beans so the soup is a little thicker. Add a salad,crusty French bread, and top with a little shredded Parm, and we're all set!
